Famous quotes containing the words time and/or line:

    We laugh and we touch.
    I promise you love. Time will not take away that.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    One line typed twenty years ago
    can be blazed on a wall in spraypaint
    to glorify art as detachment
    or torture of those we
    did not love but also
    did not want to kill.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
